And yet he couldn’t get enough signatures from voters to win any delegates there.
By contrast:
Seriously, don’t underestimate just how competent the Obama campaign is, particularly in contrast to this lot. Messaging, debates, shit like that matters, but even more is the ability to organize volunteers, reach voters, GOTV, and campaign and spend money where it matters. If you want to know the one thing that appeals to me about Obama more than any other – it’s that.
Bondirotta

Obama’s campaign team clearly brings the same data-driven skills to online campaigning (A/B testing, metrics and analytics) that are used in the broader world of marketing. These are people who take note of what Amazon or Google or Facebook is doing, not what Campaign X or Campaign Y did in 2002.

After watching Obama’s presser today, I just don’t care who the goopers pick to run against the guy. He is the best politician in this country, and now is a seasoned and experienced POTUS, and we have our own Karl Rove with David Plouffe, who is actually better than Rove who shamelessly used 9-11 for a prop to electoral success.
Obama and co, are doing it with broader appeal than the Rovian 50 + 1 strategy that only worked by exploiting a national tragedy. What I saw today from our president was exquisite competence without a hint of excessive hubris, that was the hallmark of the Bushies.
Anything can happen between now and election day, and it is inherently dangerous for the country and world having one party of a two party superpower functionally insane. But momma never said it was all sugar plum fairies, and every day is a risk, if you are alive on planet earth.
